I'm integrating J & C and we don't use the user side of Joomla for anything currently, so I'd like to make it possible for a member to login to Joomla and see their membership status, renew their membership, and update their mailing address.

I had a profile that is properly creating a new Joomla user and I have the registration being redirected to the civicrm contribution page for new membership just fine.

But the module for showing a member their memberships and groups is from 1.5 and when I try to use it in 2.5 its clearly not functional. It looks like the api.php helper files are much different in the current release of civicrm causing errors like this:

PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method CivicrmHelperApi::setPaths() in ~/modules/mod_my_civimemberships/mod_my_civimemberships.php on line 19

How can I accomplish these tasks?

- When a user logs in put them into a view of their membership status, show their contact address information, etc.
- Have an option to renew or maybe even up sell to a higher membership type?
- If possible, allow them to update their contact information should they have moved

Can I just redirect to a user dashboard somehow?

there's a menu item for a user dashboard. that will show the membership history (you can turn on/off different sections of that page in the system settings).

for contact details, you'll want to create a profile and then create a menu item to it in edit mode.

Thanks!

Am I missing where this type of stuff is explained in the documentation? I've tried reading everything I can get my hands on.
